Looking to place an order tonight: Berry Crazy Black Currant & Raspberry Chocolate Fever Chocolate Silk Frappaccino (is this good in B&B?) Head ove Heels IN Love Hey Hey Cute Cabana Boy Huckleberry(any different than any other berries out there?) Lemon Sugar & Candied Violets Sugar Bubbles(this isn't anything like JS's EffereFizzyPops or Sweet tarts is it?) Karma Kazi Peaceful Mango Breeze Petits Choux(is it mostly just a rose?) Sticky Toffe Pudding(?) Sweet Madeleine French Light as Air Croquembouche thanks!!!!

Good to know. Thank you VERY much! Guessing from that little tiny sample is not as accurate as I thought. Thanks again. I'm glad to hear it's very thick. I think I may go buy the tub/container. thank you

I'm looking for "thicker & heavier"!!! I love the Ky Soy Whip, but it is very light & airy, yet, goes on thicker than a regular lotion & looks like whipped frosting already, without having to hand whip it yourself! but when you order their sample, it is so tiny! I use bases as well and I have liked WSP's Silky Body butter, but it has a weird smell that some FO's don't cover, so I'd rather use something else. With the MMS Body cream, does it go on greasy? Does it rub in? The WSP goes on a little slick, but dissolves right away. I've also tried the butter from soapandthings.com that is 98% all natural, but it goes on greasy & STAYS greasy. I don't like that. How does the MMS go on & rub in? Thick & heavy is fine, it's perfect, as long as it doesn't stay "slick" & shiny. (I've also wanted to try their sugar scrub base at MMS)Thanks for your help:)

Ooh, can you tell me, please, what the similarity or differences are between the two? I've only sampled EssByCat's & never tried MMS's, but want to order a sample. Thanks for any help.(btw: I love your "saying" at the bottom of your signature/post)

KY Soy Whip, EssentByCatalina's(& just scent's) Body Frosting, MMS Body Cream Base Does anyone use any of these & do you market them as a body butter? Thanks so much.

"I mean if you're offering a certain product (your sample body butter) and you want these to be offered at 1oz NET weight- then you need to stick each jar on the scale, tare out the weight of the jar, then fill it until it says 1oz".: That is exactly what I do. I weigh EVERYTHING. "I look at my weight variations and make sure that the container has at least that much product in it -- and probably more." I do this as well. I always end up having more product in the jar. Thanks for everyone taking the time to chime in.

But then why have I bought things from other etailers & on their site it will, for example, say: Lotion & give you a choice of a 1 oz size, a 2-oz size, a 4-oz size then also, Body Butter & give a choice of a 1-oz size, 1 2-oz size, a 4-oz size, etc. So, I order, let's say, the 2 oz sizes of each: Ok, I get the 2 oz lotion in the mail & the 2 oz butter in the mail & they are in the same exact jars. Clearly, the butter is heavier, but they are both on the sites for sale as 2 oz sizes. Or another example: I'll buy these: 2 oz Hair & Protein Mist and also a 2 oz Cyclo/FO perfume. Both in the same "2 0z" bottle, but clearly the Cyclo perfume is heavier? I don't mean to overexhaust this subject /thread, I apologize for that. But I appreciate all your responses.

So how would you label each batch? If someone orders today's batch you would put the amount in a jar/container, weigh & label it whatever today's weight was. And then if someone orders next week, from a new batch, thier label would have that weeks batch weight after put into it's jar? AHhhhhhh! Where is the smiley ripping it's hair out of it's head?

You know what you just made me realize: I put each different product in a different kind of jar-bottle-container! I don't use the same "container" for multiple products, at this point. This is probably why I've never stopped to think about this whole problem! I guess the day I would have tried to put a denser item like a "butter" or a lighter, more "whipped" product into the same jar I'd only used for a thinner lotion in the past, I would've then seen the significant difference when it came time to weigh! Thanks again so much for your help. ( I like this rockin smilie)

So I wouldn't label it "net wt 2.0 oz" or for the other one: "net wt 1.9 oz"? You are very kind to spend the time responding:yes:

The jar alone, with no lid on it, weighs .55 oz. When I add lotion to it, I get a reading of 2.55 oz with one jar. The second jar I got a reading of 2.45 oz once I added lotion to it. If I'm buying a 1 ounce jar, I'm assuming it means that it will hold one ounce worth of product? I guess not! Thank you for any help

I'm making sampler sized lotion in jars. I bought what I thought were 1 ounce rounded double wall jars. But when I put the lotion in the jars & re-weigh, I get a weight of anywhere between 1.85-2.15 of lotion in the jar. What gives? & I did check to make sure that I do have the one ounce sized jars & that there was no mistake. I guess I can't market it as a one ounce sized jar can I? Anyone else find this?

I once had a terrible sunburn when in the Bahamas & the first aid people there told me to buy a bottle of Vodka & soak washclothes with it & dab it all over my skin. It actually helped!!!!(ok, the codeine/tylenols they gave me helped too!) I've heard that cucumbers are cool & soothing. Maybe put some in a blender & make a spread? Gosh, I hope he feels better soon. It does take a few days though, for a bad sunburn to stop hurting. Poor thing.

I tried doing a search but didn't come up with anything regarding: I could've sworn I once saw a post saying that another supplier sells the same Alba Botanical Lotion as Snowdrift, only cheaper & under a different name. Does anyone know? thanks

I'm glad you posted this. I knew I wasn't over reacting to the $10 shipping quote. I ended up NOT placing the order. There were really a couple of oils I wanted to try, but I don't pay that much, for so little, anywhere else. One or two places did go up a bit in their shipping, but not $10 for a handful of one ouncers! Thanks again for posting

I just tried to put in a sample order for just 10 one ounce samples & it says $10 shipping! That seems like an awful lot for shipping. Has anyone had any shipping experience with them? Would you say this is the norm for them? Thanks for any help.

Please tell me what I MUST get from the Solas sale. It'll be my first time ordering from them. I know, I swore: no more new suppliers!!!! But they've been on my list of places to eventually try, etc.. So far I'm looking at these: Be Delicious type, Brooklyn Biscotti, Angel Food Cake, Candy Corn, Iced Raspberry, Lavender Cucumber Sage, Lime Basil Mandarin, Milk & Honey, Nectarine Blossom & Honey, Pumpkin Pie, Satsuma, Sweet Dreams. Anyone like these? Did I overlook anything I must have? Thanks!

I like WSP's Fudge Brownie

I put the Cake Batter in a body spray & it was "ok". I let it cure for a week & it became AMAZING!!!!

That is exactly what I mean about "creamy": something that smells like vanilla ice cream:yay:

Chestnuts & Brown Sugar is amazing Berry Lemonade Yahoo too I love them. Sign up for their email newsletter & every saturday you will get an email telling you what the new specials are

http://www.herbalsoapsbyrj.com has them: $2 for 100 $8 for 500

I love thier oils & love that they come in amber glass bottles and I use many of their other products including some carrier oils, unscented bases & bottles & packaging.

I get my FCO from The Scent Works & from Aroma Haven. As for the whole hair thing, I personally hate it in my hair, but others use it & like it.

One I found this year....because of this board was The Candle Source. What a great find!!!!
